“Your vulnerability is not a weakness. It’s a doorway to your own power.”
~ Alex Elle, Author & Wellness Educator
You’ve been holding it all together for a long time. The weight of the world, the pressures of work, the expectations of family, and the constant need to be strong can be exhausting. As a Black man, you navigate a world that doesn’t always see you, hear you, or value you. We get it.
At Resilient Mind Counseling, we offer a space where you don’t have to be anything but yourself. A space for real talk, real healing, and real growth. This is therapy for Black men, and it’s for you.
As a Black man, you’re conditioned to be a pillar of strength, but that doesn’t mean you must carry every burden in silence. Therapy provides a confidential and strategic space to unpack the heavy loads of racial trauma, societal pressures, and unspoken emotions.
“In times of crisis, the wise build bridges while the foolish build barriers.”
– T’Challah Black Panther
As a Black man, you’re conditioned to be a pillar of strength, but that doesn’t mean you must carry every burden in silence. Therapy provides a confidential and strategic space to unpack the heavy loads of racial trauma, societal pressures, and unspoken emotions.
Prioritizing this healing journey now is a revolutionary act of self-care, allowing you to dismantle old wounds and architect a healthier, more authentic future for yourself. Investing in your mental well-being today is the ultimate investment in your peace, your power, and the life you truly deserve to live.
Does any of this sound familiar?
These are not just your burdens to bear alone. These are the shared experiences of many Black men. And while the world may tell you to “man up” and keep it all inside, we’re here to tell you something different:
Your feelings are valid. Your mental health matters. And therapy for Black men can be a powerful tool for change.
Be Heard: Share your story with a therapist who understands the unique challenges you face as a Black man.
Heal: Process the impact of racism, discrimination, and generational trauma in a safe and supportive environment.
Grow: Develop the tools to manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and build the life you want to live.
Thrive: Discover your own strength, resilience, and power, and step into a more authentic and fulfilling version of yourself.

We understand that the idea of therapy can be intimidating. But taking that first step is an act of strength. It’s an investment in yourself, your future, and your well-being.
At Resilient Mind Counseling, we believe in providing inclusive counseling services. This is why we also provide supportive therapy for those who identify as Neurodivergent and LGBTQ. Our online therapists in North Carolina also provide anxiety treatment, depression treatment, and PTSD treatment. As well as mood disorder treatment, marriage counseling, and couples therapy.
For accessibility, we provide these services through online therapy in North Carolina.
We accept payment through a HIPAA compliant payment processing software.
This ensures that your financial information remains encrypted and protected.
Therapy can be vulnerable and new, so it’s natural to be nervous. It can be scary to think of opening up or crying in front of someone new, perhaps fearing that it will be awkward and uncomfortable. The fear around that can feel overwhelming. Getting the counseling we need can be challenging. And although it’s normal to be nervous, that doesn’t make it feel great. It takes courage to continue getting the help you need.
Therapy is a space where you can be yourself and feel safe from judgment, including feeling nervous. We’re committed to finding a way to care for your nervousness and ensure sessions are as comfortable as possible.
We’re here if you want to talk about it during a free phone consultation.
Take your time to read through this website. If you sense that we may be a good fit based on what you are reading, you can call us.
During a free phone consultation, you can ask one of our therapists about how they have helped other people like you before, ask how they work as a therapist, or any other questions you may have that are specific-to-you. You’ll also be able to tell them what’s up, and you and one of our therapists can decide together how they can help.
It will usually take a couple of sessions to feel comfortable and develop a relationship. During the sessions, you’ll be able to understand how comfortable you feel in sessions. Our approach is not going to work for everyone. What’s most important is that you find someone who you feel is the right fit for you. We can explore that together.
If something feels overwhelming or even terrifying to discuss, that’s actually very normal. It can often feel difficult to talk about some things. During sessions, your therapist will never push you to talk about things that are too painful for you to talk about. They will be there to guide you towards discovering what feels comfortable for you to share. Working at your pace, together you can look at the tough stuff if you’re ready.
You can also share with them that you are nervous to open up about something, and you and your therapist can talk about that too. Whatever is present for you. Whatever you are going through. Bring that to session and you can explore that together.
If you open up, we will not think you are crazy. We will think you are someone who’s very courageous. Many clients have had the same fear (that people would think they are crazy).
Through our own life journeys and working with clients, we know how “normal” your experience is.
You’re not being dramatic or “too much.” Nothing you can say will cause us to judge you.
We know nobody’s perfect. We all struggle. We all suffer in different ways.
Whatever it is you’re going through, we provide a safe space where you can feel heard and supported without judgment.
You might already know that you want to share sensitive information about your loved ones and you don’t want them to find out what you’ve said. So we want you to know that unless there is an imminent danger to yourself or someone else, everything you share is completely confidential.
There is nothing more important than your privacy.
You can rest assured that you can talk about anything without fear of that information getting out.
If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your free phone consultation or anytime during your work with your therapist.
Overall, you can think of the first session as a structured assessment that helps your therapist get to know you and the challenges that brought you into treatment. They’ll invite you to share more about yourself, and you can also talk about what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past.
Some questions that your therapist might ask during a first session include:
You can ask your therapist questions as well. You might be curious about their experience or how future sessions work.
The most important part of a first session is that you see if you feel your therapist is a good fit for you. If you feel supported, seen, and at ease with them, you can discuss if you’d like to meet again.
Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. We’re here to make it easier with a free consultation—just a conversation, no pressure, only support.
